Neat :).

My husband, bless him, has a shift that starts a two am. And is never sure how to clock in at a time that doesn't exist.

It does mess up scheduling something fierce. At least his shift doesn't start at 2:30? :-)

Interesting! And yep, that's a good point: the lost hour is fresh and new and full of promise, and it comes back to us all beat up.

(I'm one of those people who wishes they'd just do away with DST. Just leave the clocks alone. It's gonna take me two weeks now to get my body clock adjusted.)

I wish they'd go back to making all regions that observe it around the world do it on the same day at least. Some don't change until April. Not having it at all would be good. I'd rather leave work after dark than get up before dawn. It's rather an archaic convention anyway. One of our provinces doesn't do Daylight Savings at all because it doesn't make any difference to the crops and farm animals. Also studies have shown that the Monday after the start of Daylight Savings has a statistically significant higher number of accidents.

I don't mind when you get that extra hour in bed, but when they take one off you, that's just so wrong!

Your brain is indeed very twisty.

They used to steal that hour closer to my birthday which really sucked.

Thank you! ;-D

I saw a post on Twitter today that said since it is daylight savings does this mean we have to do the Time Warp?

I used to, but I've gotten out of the habit. ;-)
